A great way to make money has recently been "introducing VIP services to the middle class".
What used to be exclusive due to scarcity, labour costs and lack of relevant technology is being made more an more accessible.
To apply this process to "news" as a means of getting relevant information (as opposed to such journalism which is at least equal part entertainment), you need to look at executive briefings, the news delivered to the president, a congressman's morning file prepped by assistants.
Summly and Circa have tried, but picking 5-10 of THE things you need to see out of a ~million stories or even ~100 main news stories is very difficult.
But I bet Facebook, Google and Apple are very well positioned to solve this, eventually making media an ever-lower margin business.
